The song starts out with a young man finding out he is going to be a dad. His thoughts are explained through the song, the first is him worrying about having to raise a child when he himself is still a child, and having to throw away his dreams because now he is tied down. Then his "mistake" turns out to be his whole world. Then it ends with his whole world leaving for college, and he realizes the "mistake" he thought he had made, turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to him.
